I don’t know if it was the right tape! It just looked very similar to what was then called insulation tape, now it’s moved on and is of course made of plastic. It’s always been at the back of my mind to frame up my huge collection of printed tissue paper used to wrap citrus fruit in that way.
Thanks for this, lovely images. To think there’s really an exciting name for that way of framing. I remember there being some pictures framed in this way, deserted out in the workshop and thinking how amazing fabric electrical insulation tape could be put to such good use. Akin to pink elastplast, so elegant in squid ink black.

I can see that working well, it’d make a great set. but yes they’re all so plastic these days but maybe brown paper tape?

took me years to track down just the right tape though, I thought it’d be simple but maybe I was being too particular
